Extract cloned image from hdd make live-cd
I recently used clonezilla to make a backup image of hdd, before doing factory restore, now the image is of not necessary as I can image the restored computer (Acer Aspire 3620).
Is it possible to extract image to blu-ray and make bootable as in live-cd? |
Hi EDDY1,
this will not work since LiveCDs and normal installations are completely different. If you want to create your own LiveCD, take a look at (for example) Slax http://www.slax.org/ It is modular and you can add programs by your own to the image. Markus |
One more question, this cloned-image is on my Debian squeeze machine can I move it to virtual-box,
Or do I have to open it with clonezilla to move to VB? |
I don't know about Virtualbox, but I've read that at least for Vmware there is a possibility to transfer a complete installation into a VMware virtual machine. As far as I know this is mostly used for Windows servers.
But what do you want to do? why not perform a complete new installation inside Virtualbox? Markus |
I'm not able to read the information in the image,because it is an image.
When I imaged hdd I didn't do partition and now I'm wishing I had. I actually want information from 1 of the partitions that I can't get as an image and really don't want to buy another hdd for laptop to put the image on. I have a 40Gig drive for my other machine, I think I'll put it on that hdd atleast I'll have access to it, to copy the partition with info. It was my first time working with CZ, now I know choose partition to partition. |
mh, isn't the image only a tar.gz file? can't you unpack it?
If it's tar, you may read the manpage in order to learn how to extract particular files from the archive. Markus |
I do believe it is.
There are notations gz.aa and gz.ab under all 3 partitions. |
well, Clonezilla seems to have it's own format. Unfortunately the documentation of Clonezilla says
Code:

Thanks alot I'm going to copy to another hdd on my other computer,
I just need to be able to mount it, so I'll do that later on today. Then I can copy info to dvd. The image totals 11G but it was clone of 40G hdd. Thank you for your help. |
